๐ Lyrics
I was at the Chateau Delaqui
Jacuzzi Night One
Near the border of Paraguay
Sparkling
White suitjacket
Black bag hung from her shoulder
Dim chandelier and a leather glove
She was a dangerous liaison
Stranger in the shadows
All alone at the bar
Sips of rum on ice with an orange slice
And the stench of old cigarettes from the lobby
Keyhole, bedroom window
Sliding down the fire escape?????? on my bracelet next to the turquoise negligee
And the cigarette burns slowly in a copper-tinted ashtray, Old Flamingo...
Sometimes you fantasize
Being dressed in the yellows and Tahitian blues
And salty water slaps into your ears
Lips puckered up, girl
And you hear nothing at all
Backstroke
I was downtown at the Old Flamingo
Jacuzzi Night Two
No bodega, no balcony
She left the door barely cracked
Saw the 'Do Not Disturb' sign
Hung from the doornob swingin' back and forth
A man of leisure
Expressionless, directionless,
Coastin', driftin', starin' at the wall
A lo-fi bass snuck into his ears
The cheap???????? cologne
Reflecting neon lights collage
Keyhole, bedroom window
Sliding down the fire escape?????? on my bracelet next to the turquoise negligee
And the cigarette burns slowly in a copper-tinted ashtray, Old Flamingo...
Sometimes you fantasize
Being dressed in the yellows and Tahitian blues
And salty water slaps into your ears
Lips puckered up, girl
And you hear nothing at all
You fantasize
Being dressed in the yellows and Tahitian blues
And salty water slaps into your ears
Lips puckered up, girl
And you hear nothing at all
And you hear nothing at all
Yeah, you hear nothing at all
Yeah, you hear nothing at all
Backstroke
Jacuzzi Night One
Near the border of Paraguay
Sparkling
White suitjacket
Black bag hung from her shoulder
Dim chandelier and a leather glove
She was a dangerous liaison
Stranger in the shadows
All alone at the bar
Sips of rum on ice with an orange slice
And the stench of old cigarettes from the lobby
Keyhole, bedroom window
Sliding down the fire escape?????? on my bracelet next to the turquoise negligee
And the cigarette burns slowly in a copper-tinted ashtray, Old Flamingo...
Sometimes you fantasize
Being dressed in the yellows and Tahitian blues
And salty water slaps into your ears
Lips puckered up, girl
And you hear nothing at all

And you hear nothing at all
And you hear nothing at all
Yeah, you hear nothing at all
Yeah, you hear nothing at all
